Questions & Answers
Poodles are a highly intelligent, elegant and dignified breed of dogs that have been beloved companions for centuries. They come in three sizes—standard, miniature, and toy—and enjoy a wide variety of activities including obedience, agility, flyball, and show competitions. Poodles are considered one of the oldest dog breeds, originating in Germany. They are part of the non-sporting group, which means they don't have the same temperement as a hunting dog, but are relaxed and calm.
Poodles do not cause allergies in everyone, however they may cause allergies in some individuals. It is always best to consider any potential risks for allergies before you decide to commit to a pet. There are various variables that can affect the likelihood of allergies, such as a poodle's coat type, breed, any fur coat treatments done regularly, and even the individual's sensitivity level. A good place to start is to visit a veterinarian or an allergist to discuss whether you or a family member may be at risk for allergies due to a poodle.
Poodles are considered a companion dog, so it's important to feed them the best nutrition possible. A great way to do that is to provide them with meals that consist of high-grade, protein-rich dog food that is specifically catering to dogs of their breed type and age. Feeding your poodle 2-3 small meals throughout the day is ideal, and adding in appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals can also help. It's best to consult your veterinarian to get the proper advice regarding what type of food and schedules are best for your companion canine.
Owning a Poodle requires that you are prepared to provide them with enough food, essentials, and toys to keep them healthy and occupied. Before you get a Poodle, you should have a few essentials on hand such as a collar and leash, premium-grade food, treats, and a bed or crate with a comfortable removable cushion. You will also need brushes, shampoo, nail clippers for basic grooming, and toothbrushes and toothpaste to keep their teeth in top condition. Finally, toys to keep them entertained and active and a designated area for playtime will round out the basics.
Poodles come in a variety of sizes, though their standard size is the largest. Standard Poodles typically reach a height of 15-24 inches and weigh between 40-60 pounds, whereas Miniature Poodles grow to between 10-15 inches and weigh between 10-20 pounds, and Toy Poodles are usually between 4-7 inches in size and weigh 4-9 pounds. So, while the smallest of the Poodle varieties are considered "toys," the largest can be considered "regular-sized" dogs.
Yes, you can take your Poodle running, however, it's important to keep in mind that not all Poodles will take to the activity. Some dogs typically considered "high energy" breeds (such as German Shepherds or Border Collies) may naturally enjoy going for runs. Poodles, while they do have some energy, may be more likely to enjoy leisurely walks or jogs at lower speeds. Before you take your Poodle running, check with your vet to make sure they are healthy enough for the activity, particularly if they are older.
Poodles can be great companions to other pets if properly socialized. In general, poodles get along with other pets very well due to their good-natured and outgoing personalities. Since poodles are intelligent and adaptable, if given the opportunity to interact with other animals, they can even form close social bonds. With the right training and patience, poodles can co-exist peacefully with other pets, making them a valuable addition to any multi-pet household.
A Poodle's training needs can vary depending on the individual dog, their age, and the level of obedience you're aiming for. Generally speaking, you should plan to allocate between 15 and 30 minutes per day for consistent training for your Poodle. If you've just started training, aim for shorter sessions and increase the times as your pup gets better at the commands you're teaching. However, if your ultimate goal is to compete in shows or train in agility, you should plan to invest at least 1 hour per day for more challenging projects.
